The Way It Should Be: Ghosn, Nissan Execs To Forego Bonuses After Dismal Year

Even though Ghosn’s totally transformed Nissan into a major profit machine since arriving in 1999, last year was a rough one for the company, and results for the 12-month period to March 31, 2007 came in below expectations.

Wow! Leadership by example! You don't perform as expected and you don't get a bonus. What an example for the rest of the industry.

Sad that doing the right thing makes you stand out in the automotive world.

Good job Nissan dudes! I bet they still get a GT-R for their hard work.

Forfeiture of a few peanuts is political B.S. Anyway, that'll teach him not to rely so heavily on the dreaded CVT.

Nissans design has gone down the frain once again. The Altima coupe is a pathetic replica of th G and the Sentra, well what can i say other than disgusting. They have to many SUVs in their lineup.
Whether it's a few peanuts or not the fact is that he did the right thing. I think he should have a chat with Ford execs.

Where do you get these ideas from: "The Altima coupe is a pathetic replica of the G and the Sentra"

Can I ask what do you drive? A Mitsu Eclipse or Toyota Celica.

The new altima coupe is a pathetic replica of a G, what's not to understand. And the new sentra is just ugly.
And if you really must know a have gs430 as a daily driver and a porsche cayman as my weekend toy.
